Vitrectomy is the preferred surgical method for diabetic retinopathy, especially in the stage of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Vitrectomy for diabetic retinopathy involves all aspects of vitrectomy, which is one of the signs of maturity of retinal surgeons. With the application of minimally invasive vitrectomy and perioperative anti-neovascularization drugs, indications and timing of surgery, perioperative medication, management of vitreous, and whether combined with cataract surgery have changed greatly, and new understanding is needed. Evidence-based clinical research on the timing of diabetic retinopathy surgery and perioperative drug use should be carried out to provide a new theoretical basis for the surgical treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
